Almost Done

Finally some "almost done" pictures of the site.  If only the backhoe would arrive, then we'd really have something to show!!
We will officially be starting school on May 31st!  Only one week behind our original plan (not too bad:)  If the toilets are not functioning by then we'll have to rent a port-o-potty.  Right now I run to the hardware store around the corner almost once a day to buy something and use their washroom!  We always seem to need another paint brush or tape about half way through the day:)  However, once school starts, I think it will be a bit obvious if I try to sneak into "Ecko Depot" with 120 children in tow!
The Haitian government has announced that all schools must run through the summer and take September off for vacation.  We want to honour the government's wishes so we will be doing the same.  It will be HOT during July and August, but our hope is that the majority of the students will be able to complete their current grade and move on in October when we re-open again.
